Bilateral and Unilateral Fused Primary Teeth With Hypodontia in Permanent Dentition: A Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Fused teeth represent an uncommon developmental anomaly in which adjacent tooth buds unite to form a single enlarged structure, often leading to spacing discrepancies, malocclusion, esthetic concerns, and a frequent absence of permanent successors. Although more prevalent in the primary dentition, bilateral involvement is exceedingly rare and poses additional diagnostic and treatment challenges. This report describes three pediatric cases of mandibular primary tooth fusion associated with hypodontia of the successor incisors, confirmed radiographically. These cases underscore the importance of early clinical and radiographic evaluation, multidisciplinary management, and long-term follow-up to minimize complications and support optimal dental development.
